Would you write for $1 a word?

“$1 a word is huge!” – this very quote would worth $5, at $1 per word. Some people in this world would work at least 1 hour to get this money.

Who would possibly pay one $1 per word? And how good that text would need to be to be worth that much?

Let’s change the perspective a little: do you think it’s possible to sell an ebook with 30,000 words for $30,000? It’s the same as $1 per word.

Let’s say that each page has 200 words. That’s a 150 pages ebook.

At $7 a copy, $30,000 means 4,285 copies sold.

Let’s recap: 4,285 copies of $7 each of a 150 pages ebook is, in the end, the same as writing for $1 a word.

So, the first question is: if someone were to GUARANTEE the above money, and you’d have the freedom to write what you like, would you do it?

Writing 200 words per day, for 150 days, is something definitely doable. And getting paid $200 per each such day, for less than 1 hour work,
is some of the best earnings per hours for working where you want, when you want.

But, what to write about? The answer is in another article.

By the way, the article you just read has 235 words.
